APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purpose listed below:
 Edging around walkways, curbing, flower beds and other
similar areas.
USING THE EDGER ATTACHMENT
See Figure 4.
When using the edger attachment, hold the unit with your
right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Keep a firm grip with both hands while in operation.
The edger should be held at a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
NOTE: When used with a gas power head, always operate
at full throttle. Prolonged cutting at partial throttle will result
in oil dripping from the muffler.

OPERATION

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figures 5 - 6.
 Stop the engine or motor and remove the spark plug wire
or disconnect from the power supply.
 Loosen the adjusting knob and move the wheel arm up
to increase the depth or down to decrease the depth.
 After adjustment is complete, tighten the adjusting knob
securely.
 Replace the spark plug wire or connect to the power
supply and start the unit.
NOTE: Adjust the blade depth from 1/2 in. to 1 in. deep
initially. Make a shallow cut to test the cutting depth. If the
cutting depth needs adjusting, this should be done progres-
sively until the desired depth is reached.
OPERATING TIPS
 The edger will edge along sidewalks, driveways, flower-
beds, curbs, and similar areas.
 Use the arrow guide on the blade guard to align the blade
with the edging surface.
 Cut at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog down,
you are edging too fast; slow your pace. Do not force the
blade into ground.
 Light contact of the blade against the sidewalk edge,
curb, etc., is acceptable and will not damage the edger.
 Best appearance is obtained when grass is dry. Avoid
edging in wet soil or wet grass areas or the blade guard
might clog and result in an uneven edge. If the blade
guard becomes clogged, stop the engine, remove the
spark plug wire or disconnect from the power supply,
and remove debris from the blade guard.
